Per Meanie:
My objectives are irrelevant.

For somebody with a total beginner's level of sophistication, I would
think not.

Requirements like viewing width-of-view vs resolution, facial
recognition, night-vision vs day-only and so-forth help determine the
best choice of cams.

Not that I would have anything intelligent to say even given those
specifics.... but Those Who Know would be better able to advise...
